You cannot join this team until the client adds a complete address. Please wait until the client do

[58f1df19]

Hi

I get the error "You cannot join this team until the client adds a complete address. Please wait until the client does so." when trying to hire a freelancer. I already have my address on file and on file with my payment credit card.

What's happening?

How do I fix it?

Thanks,

Rob

There are two address locations that the Client must complete. See the solution to this thread.

Hello, I read the thread on the "You cannot join this team until the client adds a complete address. Please wait until the client does" error. I informed my client about the solutions provided here. He said he did it, but the problem persisted.

Please, any help from a Moderator or Support? 

Thanks.

Hi Lawrence,

I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with this. I have checked and I can confirm that the client still needs to add their complete address. Please, let them know they can reach out to us directly here or contact support and we'll be happy to help! 

[lankutse]

Please indicate the specific address to fill in and how he can navigate and find it, so I share it with him.

Hi Lawrence,

They should be able to see this in their settings. If they need assistance, it would be best to recommend to them to contact support directly. Thank you.

wish best

[lankutse]

They should be able to see what in their settings. He said he has filled everything. 

[ArjayM]

Hi Lawrence,

For privacy reasons, we can't disclose any information or actions that's been taken on a user's account. However, I can see that the client still needs to provide their complete address for you to proceed with the contract. 

**Edited for Additional Information**

In general, clients would go to Settings> My Info and complete their location information under the Company Contact section. As Annie Jane mentioned, we highly suggest you advise the client to reach out to our support team if they have any issues adding their address and they will surely assist them accordingly.

I have filled out the address on my profile, relaunched my browser, signed out and back in. I cannot find the solution to this error message. It is causing much frustration. Please help!

Be careful what you ask for, they will suspend your account. I asked for help and then Upwork support suspends my account because Upwork's system autogenerated pre-filled company name in the profile section of my account and it says "My Company" which I never put their nor did I put a company because im a client not a freelancer and I hire freelancers. So be careful when you ask for help, now they want to see all sorts of financial statements which is ridiculous. I attached a screenshot of their email to me so you can see. Good luck

Hi-

The contractor I'm trying to hire is saying they are getting the error "You cannot join this team until the client adds a complete address. Please wait until the client does so." I already have my address on file and on file with my payment credit card.

What's happening and how do I fix it?

Thank you,

-Hannah

[AndreaG]

Hi Hannah,

I checked and it does look like you need to add your address in Settings > My Info > Company contacts. Please have the freelancer try again after you've added your address and let us know if the issue persists.

[d83caee6]

Hello!

Also have a problem with accepting a task: "You cannot join this team until the client adds a complete address. Please wait until the client does so". The client says that he specified the address. Changing browser didn't help.

[PradeepH]

Hi Andrey,

Thank you for your message. The client will need to update their company information before you accept the offer. Please request the client to update their company details and address on the company settings page.

Thank you

Pradeep
